Summary Minutes: Regular City Commission Meeting May 17,2007 City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida Mayor Edelcup asked about moving the location of the bench on l58th Street to the other side, and City Manager Szerlag said that it has been taken care of. Mayor Edelcup asked how many easements have we gotten so far on Collins A venue, that is holding up the delivery and placement. Assistant City Manager Jorge Vera said that we have all the surveys on Collins A venue as far as easements, now we have to deal with the largest property owner up and down Collins A venue. City Attorney Ottinot said that the easement agreement needs the survey, and it is part of the condition of approval. Mr. Vera said we can start putting them in some places where we have bus stops. Mayor Edelcup said he doesn't want to wait until we get all the easements, let's put the bus benches and shelters there as quickly as we get the easement, and City Manager Szerlag said that we would do that. Commissioner Goodman said in some of the bus shelters there are only two seats, in some areas if you could put the bench and the garbage pail next to the bus shelter it would be more convenient for people to sit and wait, and City Manager Szerlag said if you don't mind a bench without a shelter, he can do that. Vice Mayor Thaler asked what the final total of bus shelters that we will need, we have now ordered 36. City Engineer/Public Works Director Rick Conner said their recommendation puts it around 40, depending on how close some of them end up being together, but we want to take them in stages. He said next month we are asking for more benches and trash receptacles, and are moving forward with the larger units, the smaller units have already been placed. Vice Mayor Thaler asked how long will it take us to get the ones already ordered, when will those 36 be put in? City Manager Szerlag said we will be done by the end of the summer.
